William Lamb, a pedagogue called out of retirement because of the war to join the staff of a school that has been evacuated to a remote Scottish castle. According to legend the castle is haunted and whoever should hear the sound of ghostly bagpipes will surely meet a grisly end. With members of the school's staff dropping like flies, Lamb is called upon to solve the gruesome mystery. Featuring delightful interplay between Hay and Claude Hulbert , there is also a standout turn from John Laurie as the school caretaker given to telling the fearsome story of the castle's ancient curse.
